Defence lawyer Ari Goldkind said earlier this year that he had learned prosecutors want his client jailed for 10 to 12 years.

Prosecutors decided last December not to seek dangerous offender or long-term offender status for Stuckless.

Goldkind has maintained neither dangerous offender nor long-term offender status is justified since his client has behaved lawfully since his last convictions and voluntarily undergoes chemical castration.
